Thanks for sharing. I have also read that MRI's are preferred.

You’re welcome! Typically the next step would be to have a gallium or copper pet scan. These scans are specifically for nets and will help determine a couple of things. It will determine if your tumors have the necessary receptors to be a candidate for other treatments such as PRRT (which is quickly becoming a standard treatment) and will also show tumors anywhere else in the body that are otherwise undetectable.
Are you seeing a net specialist?
